A miller Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34441 Posted June 14, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey Steve - Glad the rolls are working out for you. Better in your hands than mine just some random shots, none particularly great BUT .... these were shot with Cinestill 800 +82B balancing filter (brings it to daylight) and 2xND filter (read somewhere online that cinematographers like that combo, so I figured, why not try it .... film courtesy of Adam (yes 800 made from US to London back to US with x-ray damage (luggage screened to bring on board, not checked). ... Very cool, Phil. I guess the lens has somewhat of a built-in (light) yellow filter? This photo is made with a very special lens: the Canon 35mm f2 SC lens from 1971. The elements of this lens have a yellow-brown appearance due to thorium used in the glass. Thorium (apparently) is a radioactive material and, with time, the activity of the element somehow causes the colouration of the elements. Anyway, I love the properties of this lens for black and white photography. Some people "clear up" the yellowing by exposing the lens to strong lights for several weeks, but I value too much the effect it gives b&w film. The lens also gives crazily and unusually detailed pictures - it may not show here, but those highlights have abundant details, as do the deepest shadows: Port Phillip Bay, 2012 Canon A1, FD 35mm f2 SC, Ilford FP4+ Very nice, Neil. Love the composition. What camera? One to get us going Across 100 6x6 Developed in Ilfordtec LC29 Cameron Highlands Tea Plantation LOVE these colors!!!

A miller Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34442 Posted June 14, 2017 Ian - I am loving your premium color film stock photos. Both pleasing to my eyes....and validating to my ego...Just a pleasure to view. Thanks for sharing Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus). Portra 400 and 90 Macro Elmar-M. Great picture Adam in full inspiration our man Best Henry Gorgeous, Philip, except that I think a shot out needs to go to the Planar lens...and also your skills at using your tubes. Here's some Ektar for all Ektar lovers. I felt a bit bored on Monday night so put together a first draft of an article about extension tubes. Flickr 80 Planar with tubes handheld Much better, Neil. Let's analyze: -The Tri-X is MUCH better than the Across. Please make a note of this. Has nothing to do with my "Make America Great Again" bandwagon, although I think you probably would take a seat in that. -The shadow detail in the 8x10 in the foreground is significantly better. This is obvious. The 6x6 is plenty sufficient. But the 8x10 gives the over-the-top detail and tonal range in the dark EVs. Definitely worth the extra effort for silver gelatin prints. -Having said the above, I don't see the same advantage with the highlights. In both images, the highlights seem blown and the detail in the highlights seems to have been obtained through straining the negative. I would expect to see this with the 6x6 given the good shadow detail (and assumed no use of an ND grad filter). But with the 8x10 I'd expect to see a creamy noise-free range of light tones, similar to the the dark tones in the foreground. This suggests to me that you may have over exposed the shot. Can you use an ND grad filter on your 8x10? If so, I think a 2-stop medium grad could have gotten you those creamy noise free light tones the sky and clouds. Heres another one of the Tea Plantation except this one is with the Chamonix 8x10..........I'm hoping this will make a nice contact print Trix320 8x10 f64 2 minutes and 15 seconds exposure Devoured in D-76 Right on sunrise Very nice.

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34443 Posted June 14, 2017 I don't have a ND for the 8x10. I have one for the 6x6 but didn't use it...........I also only have a round ND for the 6x6 not a NDG I know for a fact that the contact print will look better, I will make one tomorrow. Looking at the neg its not over exposed, digitising the neg probably gives it that look............ I'm just going to shoot Leica S and SL for a while...........well for the rest of my time off :) I still have a few pictures to post and will post them tomorrow. Below is a river shot that is defiantly over exposed as I screwed up on the ND filter compensation Neil Welcome, dear visitor!

Wayne Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34447 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus). Portra 400 and 90 Macro Elmar-M. Thank you for the spectacular photograph. That is one splendid insect. I have been carrying the 90 Elmar Collapsible around for about a month now. It has proven to be a very fun lens. I think I will start shopping for a 90 Macro-Elmar. Do you find you use the adapter frequenty? It sounds like a bit of a PIA. I do use the close-up ocular on my 50 DR, but it does not require removal of lens. Is the extra .2M close focus that critical..........in practical use? Did you use the adapter for this photo?

wattsy Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34448 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) It sounds like a bit of a PIA. ....Is the extra .2M close focus that critical..........in practical use? Did you use the adapter for this photo? The restricted focussing range with the adapter is a PITA but it is pretty essential if you want to photograph something as small as a butterfly (you will probably get away without the goggles for one of your Monarch butterflies but a Common Blue isn't much larger than a thumbnail). The main selling point of the Macro Elmar-M is IMO its portable size. Both the lens and adaptor fit easily into a small bag and that is the most important feature for me. If it wasn't for that (or the fact that I already own the lens) I wouldn't consider buying the lens – certainly not new (it is one of only two lenses I've bought used). If portability isn't so important, there are far better options for significantly less cost. For example, you could buy a brand new Nikon F6 and the superlative 105/F2.8 VR for less than the cost of the ME-M new.

For macrophoto like Ian butterfly you can use the ME90 with his macroadapter but for a real macrophoto you can use a SLR Nikon or another brand Canon with a macro lens. I use now both M and SLR according to the type of picture. Here my M7 mounted with his Macro Elmar 90 and his macroadapter the advantage and it's important , the ME90 is very light and compact and you can use as a tele without the macro adapter Welcome, dear visitor!

SunnySixteen Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34460 Posted June 14, 2017 Very nice framing and color , soft and pleasant to watch I like the "soft" edge and lines of the flower , not hypersharp like in digital, , unsightly and contrary to what is seen in the nature You already know I love poppies. Thank you SS for posting. Have you more ? Best Henry Thank you Henry, I do have a few more from that evening, however I am not sure they are worthy of posting! I haven't used the 90 that much on my M, focus is a bit tricky for me. I need to shoot with it more often! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
